Happy Spring Ladies!!
Hopefully we have turned the corner from winter and are on our way to more
great weather! I hope everyone had a great Easter and Passover. Along with the
obvious at this time of year, I must say I still love to see if any little ones
are wearing any of "our favorites" at church, brunch or egg
hunts!!!
I guess I still have too many fond memories of my own little ones on Easter
morning, sometimes dressed alike, sometimes dressed nothing alike. Some years
we had bonnets, some years they were torn off our heads in screaming fits!
Nope, not gonna happen! Some years I can remember being too short of time, and
Sylvia White or Florence Eismann came to the rescue!!! Now quite a few of you
ladies from the old days will remember these brands, as well as Ance' K and
Monday's Child!!!
It was in these days our guild was numbers strong!! Our children were
little, young mothers were smocking like crazy, sewers were plentiful! As often
happens with a loved art, it comes, it goes and then it comes back again. While
our guild right now is not as large as it once was, it's still great memories,
great friends, and the love of the ART!
Keep Coming Back!
